The North Carolina Folk Festival takes place each September and features more than 300 artists on multiple stages with continuous performances.
The Festival attracts huge crowds of people to downtown Greensboro for a three-day celebration of cultural heritage through music, dance, handmade crafts, food, and family fun! As one of the fastest growing FREE festivals in the Southeast, the North Carolina Folk Festival features an exciting new lineup of global artists, American roots performers, and North Carolina flavors every year!
The North Carolina Folk Festival is produced in partnership with the City of Greensboro. https://greensboro-nc.gov/
North Carolina Folk Festival is a non-profit resident organization of the Greensboro Cultural Center, made possible by a significant in-kind contribution from Creative Greensboro, the City of Greensboro’s office for arts & culture. Find out how you can support the North Carolina Folk Festival.
